Curiosities
MATEUS' origins date back to 1942, when Fernando Van Zeller Guedes, founder of the company, had the idea of creating a wine with a strong personality and unique flavour, presented in an original and innovative bottle, inspired by the flask bottles of the soldiers in World War I. This original combination and the quality of the wine made it a case of success, and Mateus grew to become a global brand present in more than 125 countries, with more than 1 billion bottles sold in 60 years of its continuous career. Its unique bottle is a true design icon, recently rejuvenated to best capture the timeless values of this unique and innovative brand.
Varieties and Winemaking
MATEUS ROSÉ SHIRAZ is a rosé wine produced from a single grape variety - Shiraz - a noble variety from France - using white wine making techniques. The grapes were softly crushed and pressed, resulting in a slightly pink coloured must that fermented in a controlled temperature of 14-16º without skin contact, resulting in an elegant rosé colour.
Ageing and Storage
The wine was matured for about 2 months under the watchful eye of the winemaking team. Following tasting, the final wine was filtered and cold stabilized before bottling in order to preserve its freshness. MATEUS ROSÉ SHIRAZ is ready to drink and should be stored in a dry and cool place.
